Cisco Aironet 1250 Series Lightweight
Access Points


This section lists the 1250 series lightweight access points (model: AIR-LAP1251) 2.4-GHz and 5-GHz ( draft IEEE 802.11n version 2.0) radio channels and maximum power levels supported by the world's regulatory domains. The following topics are covered in this section:

Channels and Maximum Power Levels

Special Country Restrictions

Changing Lightweight Access Point Output Power

Channels and Maximum Power Levels


Note The access point has been designed to operate with the antennas listed in the product hardware installation guide and having a maximum gain of 10 dBi for 2.4 GHz and 6 dBi for 5 GHz. Antennas not included in this list or having a higher gain are strictly prohibited for use with the access point. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms.



Note To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen so that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than required for successful communication.


2.4 GHz Band (IEEE 802.11n Version 2.0)

An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) above the amount allowed per regulatory domain. Table 7-1 indicates the channel identifiers, channel center frequencies, and maximum power levels for each channel allowed by the
-A regulatory domain for a 2.4-GHz radio.

1 M0 to M15 corresponds to the Modulaton and Coding Schemes (MCS0 to MCS15). The MCS settings determine the number of spatial streams, the modulation, the coding rate, and the data rate values.


5 GHz Band (Draft IEEE 802.11n Version 2.0)

An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated power (EIRP) above the amount allowed per regulatory domain.

Table 7-8 indicates the channel identifiers, channel center frequencies, and maximum power levels for each channel allowed by the -A regulatory domain for a 5-GHz radio with up to 6-dBi antennas.

Changing Lightweight Access Point Output Power

This section provides instructions for changing the 1250 series access point output power to comply with the maximum power limits imposed by special regulatory and country restrictions (see the "Special Country Restrictions" section). Follow these instructions to change the output power settings using a controller and your browser:


Note Administrator privileges may be required in order to change access point settings.



Caution To meet regulatory restrictions, the access point and the external antenna must be professionally installed. The network administration or other IT professional responsible for installing and configuring the unit is a suitable professional installer. Following installation, access to the unit should be
password-protected by the network administrator to maintain regulatory compliance.

The output power on the access points can be changed only using a Cisco wireless LAN controller
(2600 series or 4400 series), the controllers on a Cisco Wireless Services Module (WiSM), or using Cisco Wireless Control System (WCS).


Note See the Cisco Wireless LAN Controller Configuration Guide for more details on how to to configure your access point using the web-browser interface.


Follow these steps to change the access point's output power to meet local regulations using a controller:


Step 1 Open your Internet browser. You must use Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0.2800 or a later release.

Step 2 Enter https://IP address (where IP address is the controller's IP address) in the browser address line and press Enter. A user login screen appears.

Step 3 Enter the username and password and press Enter. The controller's summary page appears.


Note The username and password are case-sensitive.


Step 4 Click Wireless > 802.11a/n Radios or 802.11b/g/n Radios and a list of associated access points appears.

Step 5 Choose the desired access point and click Configure. The radio settings page appears.

Step 6 Scroll down to the Tx Power Level Assignment field, and click Custom.

Custom indicates that the radio output power is manually controlled by the Tx Power Configuration setting field.

Step 7 In the Tx Power Level field, select the appropriate power level setting (1 to 8).

Based on the operating channel, the regulatory domain, and the controller power level setting (1 to 8), the actual transmit power at the access point can be reduced to comply with special regulatory or country restrictions.

Table 18 lists the controller power settings and the corresponding output power levels for these two examples:

2.4 GHz ) operation in EMEA (-E) regulatory domain:

Channel 2 using 11-Mbps data rates with 6-dBi external antenna

5 GHz (802.11a) operation:

Channel 52 with 6-dBi external antenna

1 The Tx Power Level setting of 1 represents the maximum conducted power setting for the access point. Each subsequent controller power level (such as 2, 3, 4, etc.) represents approximately a 3-dBm reduction in transmit power from the previous power level.

2 The maximum output power levels obtained from Table 7-2 and Table 7-3.


For 802.11b/g/n (see Table 7-4 and Table 18), the manual controller Tx Power Level setting is 2.

For 802.11a/n (see Table 7-5 and Table 18), the manual controller Tx Power Level setting is 2.
